Excimer drying is a drying process for UV coating products that achieves a truly excellent deep matte finish on surfaces.
What is meant by inert atmosphere drying?
What is meant by inert atmosphere drying?
Inert atmosphere drying is achieved by significantly reducing the amount of oxygen in the oven and replacing it with inert gas, like nitrogen. This type of drying can reduce the photoinitiator amount needed for UV coatings to start the crosslinking process by 40-70%, significantly saving costs.
What are the advantages of drying in an inert atmosphere?
What are the advantages of drying in an inert atmosphere?
Besides substantially reducing the need for photoinitiators and thereby lowering paint costs, inert atmosphere drying has other benefits. The paint used is less harmful to the environment. Yellowing effects caused by photoinitiators are less likely to occur. Fewer UV lamps are needed to activate crosslinking, reducing energy costs.
On which materials can I spray coat?
On which materials can I spray coat?
- The coating must be matched with the substrate material to ensure proper adhesion.
- The size of the coated workpiece must be able to pass through the spraying system.
What are the advantages of spray coating?
What are the advantages of spray coating?
- Firstly, the spray coating process ensures that all sides of a workpiece are covered.
- Secondly, the shape of the product doesn't matter, and since it's a non-contact-type coating, different tolerances between products are automatically compensated.
How simple is it to use a spray coating machine?
How simple is it to use a spray coating machine?
It depends on the type of spraying machine, the type of conveyor (paper or continuous belt), and the type of filter (paper or water). The basic steps include setting up the spraying equipment, adjusting the spray guns, preparing the coating material, doing a test spray, and then proceeding with the actual spraying operation. It's relatively simple but still requires some professional skill training.
What are the advantages of a dual roller coating machine?
